-0.3.4 (to be announced) "elliptic inheritance"
-----------------------------------------------
+---------------------------------------------------
+0.4.0 (to be announced) "simultaneous independence"
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
+improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
+has been moved to a library, libosl. To use the new version, you have
+to generate new RSA keys, see INSTALL for details. A shell script is
+provided for conversion of the 0.3 database to the new 0.4 format.
+
+ - stronger crypto for client authentication
+ - the database code has been moved to a library
+ - improved status item handling
+ - the new parser-friendly listing mode for the ls and stat commands
+ - mandatory rc4 encryption
+ - major audio format handler cleanups
+ - (id3,...) tags are no longer stored as a combined string in the database
+ - new mood methods: artist_matches, title_matches, comment_matches,
+ album_matches, year_maches, year.
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+0.3.5 (to be announced) "symplectic separability"
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Full client support for *BSD Unixes, various improvements and the
+usual mix of bugfixes. This release marks the end of the 0.3 series
+if no serious problems show up.
+
+ - the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux)
+ - support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker)
+ - the new prebuffer filter
+ - improved signal handling
+ - variable fec output buffer size
+ - --log_color actually works
+ - new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch)
+ - update to gengetopt 2.22.2
+ - support for RSA keys of size > 512 bits
+ - new option "mixer_channel" for para_fade
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.3.4 (2009-05-07) "elliptic inheritance"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The new udp sender, forward error correction, colored logs and various
+other improvements. As the udp sender does not depend on any special
+libraries, it is built unconditionally.
+
+ - The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code uses forward
+ error correction to protect against packet losses. Many thanks to
+ Gerrit Renker for providing ipv6 support.
+ - The default port for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like
+ for the http and the dccp senders/receivers.
+ - Loglevels are now specified as symbolic names, e.g.
+ "--loglevel info".
+ - improved ipv4 and ipv6 URI parser (Gerrit Renker).
+ - para_server/para_audiod: Color support for log messages.
- new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize
+ - new audiod option: --config-file.
+ - gengetopt cleanups.
- Improved help/man pages: The documentation of para_audiod,
para_recv, para_filter and para_write now also contains
- all options of the available receivers/filters/writers.
- - new audiod option: --config-file.
+ all options of the available receivers/filters/writers. The
+ man page of para_fade contains a description of the different
+ modes of operation.
+ - More source code documentation.
+ - vss timing fixes.
